My 1 year old hen is acting off and sluggish. She’s been wanting to lay down quite a bit and when placed in coop, jumped up to roost early. Her crop is full and soft, not impacted. She has not layed an egg today but had one yesterday, and it’s been her routine lately to lay eggs every other day. She has been struggling with thin shelled eggs, and we’ve been upping her calcium intake. She’s waddling a bit and not showing much interest in free ranging. Her comb is normal color. Any ideas, do I need to start her on a epsom salt bath? I also cannot feel an egg, but she seems uncomfortable back there.
Update: she’s still up on her roost, highly unusual this time of evening. ( currently an hour before dark)
